Description
"The Fish that made a Desperate Leap for a Boy." Reproduced from original in the Ances Collection by Stereo Classic Studios in 1978. Original image published by Dr. J.C. Mills in 1873. This is a stereoview (also known as a stereograph or stereoscope card). It was one of the first forms of 3D photography. The images were captured with a special stereoscopic camera, which had two lenses - simulating the view of our left and right eyes. The two, nearly identical pictures were then mounted next to each other (most commonly on a piece of cardstock, glued on as photographs or printed as lithographs). The image could then be seen in three dimensions when viewed through a device known as a stereoscope, stereopticon, and/or televiewer. Standard-size stereograph, measuring about 3.5 x 7 inches. Will be shipped safely and securely! All of my paper items are protected in archival-safe polypropylene sleeves and packaged in rigid cardstock.

This vintage stereoview is a fascinating piece of history! The dramatic scene of the trout leaping for the boy comes alive in 3D, just like it did back in 1873. The reprint from Stereo Classic Studios preserves all the charm of the original, making it a great conversation starter for collectors or anyone who loves antique photography. The details are crisp, and holding it up to a stereoscope (or even crossing your eyes) brings the action to life—so cool to experience early 3D tech! A must-have for stereo enthusiasts and fishing memorabilia fans alike.
